Del Sharbutt
In my review of The Jack Carson Show, I included a clip of a Campbell's Soup commercial and mentioned how much I enjoy their commercials.
Most of the reason is because of the product pitchman who also doubles as the announcer. His name is Del Sharbutt. I didn't realize until just now that he has a tiny bio over at "Say Hello To..."
As I told you before, you never know what you'll find over there. :)

Say Hello To... all caught up
Say Hello To... (small biographies of mostly unknown radio personalities) is "up-to-date" - in other words, all of the biographies I've gotten over the months are all up online now.
While 90% of the bios are of relative unknowns, each had their own show or was a minor star.
Also included (so far) are bios of Kate Smith, Abbott and Costello and Helen Hayes, among others.

RIP OTR People blog
As much as I want to finish it, there is no way I can ever finish OTR People. I will leave OTR People where it is but I have abandoned it forever. (Besides, there is another website out there trying to do nearly the same thing as I was doing.)
While the other stuff on this blog is time-consuming, OTR People was really time-consuming. I remember working almost 7 hours one day on it - I had started on "BA_" and when I was finished I wasn't even half way finished with "BA_."
There's a lot of research involved and while I love doing it, I can't do it and do everything else on the blog too.
It will be replaced (in a different spot) with Say Hello to... . "Say Hello to" will be a spot where I stick tiny biographies and photos or links to photos and perhaps even a link to Casts (something I set up yesterday that doesn't require a blog on it's own.) Most of the bios are already done as I swiped them from magazines.
These won't be bios of major stars like Jack Benny but of minor players or of people you probably haven't even heard of.
Despite the work involved in all of this (and other ideas I have that will perpetuate even more arms and legs (blogs all linked together) I do love doing this. But I have to be realistic. Doing OTR People would be a lifetime job and it would take my complete dedication and time to finish.
Anyway, it's all for the best. But I am sad to see it go...
